Georgia senator seeks death penalty for Laken Riley's killer, calls on attorney general to step in
Fox News ^ | Nov 21, 2024 | Danielle Wallace

A state senator is demanding that Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr file an emergency motion to intervene and demand the death penalty against Laken Riley’s killer, but Carr's office maintains that he does not have the legal authority to do so.

"I am officially calling on Attorney General Chris Carr to file an emergency motion to intervene and demand the death penalty for the murderer of Laken Riley," state Sen. Colton Moore, a Republican, wrote on X. "District Attorney Deborah Gonzalez let her radical political agenda stand in the way of justice. By refusing to seek the death penalty, she denied Laken’s family, friends, and community the full measure of justice they deserve."

"I'm very concerned, you know, about any student going to the University of Georgia when this area is a sanctuary city now. And, you know, these killers, these guys can come in here, and they don't have to worry about capital punishment," Moore told Fox News Digital. "Probably $2 million is what we're going to have to pay as taxpayers to give him three meals and a cot for the rest of his life. You know, three hots and a cot."

He will get death in jail. DP cases cost more with endless appeals.

SP should include many unindicted co-conspirators right up to the “border zxarina”-—or higher.

Concern about safety of potential victims in a sanctuary city——

Story from 2015 ——
The man who was arrested and charged for killing Kate Steinle in San Francisco and was acquitted in court, an illegal immigrant, Jose Inez Garcia-Zarate has been removed from the United States six times, in June 1994, April 1997, January 1998, February 1998, March 2006 and July 2009. He has an extensive criminal record that includes multiple convictions related to drug possession, violating terms of his probation and drug trafficking, which resulted in approximately five years in prison.

He said “When I returned to the United states I chose San Francisco because it is a sanctuary city.”

Tourist Bureau website scenes of the city may have influenced him, too. /S

No matter the cost, the death penalty is one of the best features of any place on earth. It rids society of danger so people can focus on good deeds and a better life for all.

I don’t care what the death penalty costs, and it’s long overdue to end the appeals.

Genesis 9:6
“Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image.”


I’m not a Catholic but I admire their OLD ways of this:

When The Vatican Had An Executioner by George Ryan. December 20, 2021.

At the young age of 17, Giovanni Battista Bugatti became the Official Executioner of the Papal States.

Bugatti was described as short and stout, always well dressed. Although married, he had no children. When he wasn’t carrying out his part-time duties, he and his wife were frequenters of the Santa Maria in Traspontina church and sold painted umbrellas and other souvenirs to tourists.

A respectable man, he called his executions justices and those condemned as patients.

As a resident of the Trastevere district of Rome, he was forbidden to leave his neighborhood unless on official business for fear of revenge sought by relatives of the executed.

When he did cross the bridge to leave however, the residents of Rome knew an execution was due to take place and word quickly spread as crowds gathered to witness the popular event.

From March 22nd, 1796 when he became Papal Executioner to 1810, the method of execution was beheading by axe, hanging, or even mallet. When the French instituted the guillotine, it was first used in the Papal States in 1816 until his last execution when he was retired by Pope Pius IX at the ripe age of 85.

The longest serving ever executioner in the Papal States, he was nicked Mastro Titta and was given a monthly pension of 30 Italian scudi, excellent compensation for the time.

His blood stained executioner’s clothes, axes, and guillotines remain on display today at the Criminology museum at the Oratory of the Banner building in Central Rome.

Great Idea.

May this Pol get some traction against the “legal” system in the interests of actual Justice.

Agree, And I’m unlike many, I feel being mentally unwell or low IQ should be a MULTIPLYING factor for the death penalty consideration. Not a mitigating one.

That is for intentional crimes.

Why? because they are not likely to be rehabilitated.

Not sure the guy has the power but it's a nice try and the publicity is important to sway public opinion to a more realistic understanding of just how bad the crime situation is with the illegals Biden has invited in.

The current crop of hyper violent, incredibly brazen illegal aliens does not mix well with the defund the police, empower criminals mentality of the Democrat party.

Biden has brought in super predators at the same time the Democrats are working overtime to turn Americans into lambs ready for the slaughter with their no bail , catch and release policies and hamstring and prosecute police officers who try to do their jobs and protect the public.

I did some research yesterday and found that there are approx. 2,200 inmates sitting on death row in the 27 states that allow the death penalty. And the average wait time is approx. 20 years.......

The average wait should be 1 day after they were found guilty beyond any doubt.

From the aricle:
“District Attorney Deborah Gonzalez let her radical political agenda stand in the way of justice. By refusing to seek the death penalty, she denied Laken’s family, friends, and community the full measure of justice they deserve.”

_______________________________________________

Well, a little bit of good news is she lost her re-election, but that didn’t help here:

Woke Georgia DA Deborah Gonzalez pummeled in re-election bid after refusing Laken Riley murder case
By Rich Calder
Published Nov. 9, 2024

Excerpt:
In February, Gonzalez removed herself from the case and appointed a special prosecutor, after criticism from Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp over failing to secure a single guilty verdict the entire time she had been in office.

“We will not allow this or any case to be used for political gain,” Gonzalez said at the time.

Riley’s alleged killer, Jose Antonio Ibarra, 26, was arrested in Queens six months before her death, on child endangerment charges.

But New York City’s migrant sanctuary policies prevented the NYPD from turning the Venezuelan over to the feds.

Why should the residents of GA pay the costs of supporting this murderer for the rest of his life? If they do, I hope it’s a lifetime of nothing but rice and beans.

I'm for 4 to 6 weeks. Afford them time for reflection, and trepidation.
